Unmasking the Domestic Abuser in the Church

A Day of Reckoning is Coming

Enter the rock and hide in the dust From the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty. The proud look of man will be abased And the loftiness of man will be humbled, And the LORD alone will be exalted in that day. For the LORD of hosts will have a day of reckoning Against everyone who is proud and lofty And against everyone who is lifted up, That he may be abased. (Isaiah 2:10-12)

Many of you have been going through seemingly endless legal maneuvers in the court system. On and on it goes. Your finances are being drained, or perhaps gone already. The court system is a favorite weapon of the RASN (reviler, abuser, sociopath, narcissist). Recently we have seen a new word coined for warfare waged by use of the courts – lawfare.

Now, RASN’s insist that they are waging lawfare for the benefit of the children. Because, the RASN claims, he “loves the kids,” HIS kids, so very much. No, he does not. Fatherly love is not in the courtroom. What the RASN is doing is punishing the children’s mother, threatening to take the children from her, insisting that he be given at least shared custody of the kids. After all, they are his property and he is going to see to it that what he owns remains his.

What RASNs forget is that one Day they are going to be summoned into court to give an account. It won’t be a courtroom in the local courthouse. No, it will be the Lord’s courtroom where the proud look of man is abased, and the lofty arrogance of the evil man will be humbled. That day is coming, and the RASN’s victims can take great hope in knowing this.

Many times in this present world and life, the evil deeds of wicked people go unseen. Sometimes the saying “he got away with murder” is literally true. But in reality, no one gets away with murder. Or with robbery. Or with dragging the victim of his abuse through endless legal battles to wear her down and deplete her resources. No. King Jesus sees it all.

Men will go into caves of the rocks And into holes of the ground Before the terror of the LORD And the splendor of His majesty, When He arises to make the earth tremble.
(Isa 2:19)

Lawfare is going to end one day. The courtrooms of this world will be closed. There will only be one Judge and one courtroom – the courtroom of Jesus whom God the Father has made Judge of all the earth. None of your RASN’s evil tactics are going to work then. His arrogance will be laid low, he will wish for a cave in the rocks to hide in, and he will end in hell – guilty as charged.

    I am going to court this morning for this *exact* reason. My children (15, 11, 9), said “enough,” and have refused to have contact with their father. May the judge see him for who he really is, and stop my children from being subject to their father’s abuse.

    The Lord will sustain you and your children. I have experienced similar circumstances and I can tell you that God is always willing to cover you with His loving arms of compassion and protection.
